YOKKAO 19 & 20 – Results and Video

Post Views: 359

So with the dust now settling on YOKKAO 19 & 20 and what can only be described as ‘a huge success,’‘a night that will not be forgotten,’ Brian Calder and the team have yet again smashed all of our expectations!

I spent my time there as a spectator, not as a reporter and I took great pleasure in just sitting and watching the fights. From the undercard which is named ‘YOKKAO Next Generation’ right through to the main events of both YOKKAO 19 & 20, each of the fights were incredibly matched and every one of the fighters put on an amazing display for the fans.

Mr. Calder isn’t someone who takes the foot off the gas, he has already been dropping hints and statuses on Facebook about the next one saying lines like:

“Sorry I can’t count, I meant to say 2 fight’s sorted for 25th March and there HUGE as per”

“Make that 6, this will be best event we have ever did, watch this space it’s spectacular”

“I have told you all too much already, last thing I will say on it is that it is already way better than Saturdays event, trust me it’s HUGE, tickets on sale this week, you wont want to miss this it’s outrageous to say the very least”

I keep asking myself how can he possibly top YOKKAO 19 & 20 but already Muay Thai fans have been putting 25th March in their calendars and already booking the hotel. So I wouldn’t hesitate in getting your rooms booked if you plan on making the journey down as this is bound to be another sell out show!

Every single one of these fighters did themselves, the sport, their gyms and all of the spectators proud and win or lose they should be able to sleep at night knowing that they were part of a fantastic show that only seems to be going from strength to strength.

The fight of the night for me would have to be Nathan Bendon vs Jack Kennedy – that fight was incredible from start to finish. Both of the fighters put on an amazing display of Muay Thai and they both showed amazing heart. I saw a picture of Jack’s shin the day after, quoting “Block low-kicks they said…” it looked like a tennis ball under his skin! Another special mention for me would be Steve Long and Myk Estlick, both showed that they deserve to be where they are, on the forefront of UK Muay Thai.

Hopefully I will be working the next one. Reporting on the show and getting some interviews conducted until then, I will keep you guys up to date with what is happening with the show and also leave this little gem here for you too, a live video from Facebook that shows Manachai vs Panicos and also Ben Hodge vs Jordan Watson. This video already has 51k views… Enjoy!
